Bury

Image: Lucketti: Captain fantastic

Sky Sports' survey to find the best player ever to wear a Bury shirt is reaching a conclusion - and we would like you to get involved. We asked fans of each of the 92 English League teams and Scottish Premier League sides to nominate their all-time favourite footballers. Short-lists have now been compiled from those selections for each club and you can now cast your votes for your all-time great. Colin Bell - who captained Bury at an early age before moving on to Manchester City - must be up amongst the all-time greats. Goal machine Mark Carter, who scored 62 goals in 143 appearances between 1991 and 1997, makes the list - as does fellow front-man David Adekola, the cult hero from Nigeria. Craig Madden remains the club's all-time top goalscorer with 129 goals in 297 appearances during a nine-year stint at the club that started in 1977. Chris Lucketti was the skipper of one of Bury's best-ever side in recent years and the dominating central defender will always be welcomed with open arms at Gigg. In terms of loyalty to Gigg Lane, few if any, can match Les Hart. The die-hard Shaker played for, managed, coached and was even the physio at his beloved club. Of the current crop, Andy Bishop is on course to one day go down as a Bury legend as his goal record of 50 league goals from 119 starts takes some beating. To make your selection please complete the attached poll and we will collate the results. Once all votes are cast we will reveal the winners ahead of the 2009/10 season and crown Bury's greatest-ever player!
